colonial finds in tobacco field

[sonny61]

Cliff Flynn and I have been hunting an iron site in the middle of a tobacco field. It is just a dark spot in the middle of red clay. Last week we found cut silver. Did better this time relic wise. Cliff found a nice 1812 Navy button and a silver plated cuff button. I found a watch fob or winder, small cuff buttons, part of a flintlock rifle buttplate, a large button with feather tip pattern on it but unidentifiable, a shoe buckle, a nice gilted cuff button, and best of all, a General Staff Bullet Button with the back still there but inside, about 1810. Going back tomorrow

Now that's a place you should hunt real hard. Over and over, back and forth, side to side, and the good stuff is sure to be there!

Pick #14(third from bottom), does anyone know what this is? I found one exactly, and I mean exactly like it a couple of years ago. Must be fur trade era, as I live in North Dakota, and fur trade is as old as it gets for european activity. Greatgrandfather homesteaded land in 1896.
